Default Question about gun shipping charges

I shipped a gun today; the charge including insurance was $83 and change! I have never paid close to this amount to have a gun shipped to me, so I'm wondering where I went wrong.

Standard shipping via UPS, with proof of delivery, + insurance for $2500. Insurance was $2.00 per hundred after the first $100 (free) so insurance was $48.00. What's more, the insurance covers loss but not damage because I didn't use one of THEIR cartons to pack it in.

The last gun I had shipped to me, the seller charged $35 and shipped UPS.

So what did I do wrong?
